Facundo Pérez set to join APOEL Nicosia

Argentine midfielder Facundo Pérez is traveling to Cyprus to finalize his transfer to APOEL Nicosia. According to reports from early August 2026, the 27-year-old player has reached an agreement with the club and his former team, Lanús, which will retain a percentage of any future transfer rights. Pérez is expected to sign a two-year contract, extending until May 2028, upon successfully completing his medical examinations.

This signing is part of a broader recruitment strategy directed by APOEL's sporting director, Zisis Vryzas, and coach Nikos Papadopoulos, aiming to bolster the team's midfield and overall squad depth. While Pérez is arriving to strengthen the central defensive midfield position, the club continues to seek additional reinforcements, including a goalkeeper, an attacking midfielder, and a forward. The management remains focused on ensuring these additions fit both the tactical requirements and the financial framework of the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.
